  • Patent number: 11779622
    Abstract: A raw cannabis powder is formed and packaged for convenient and low-cost access to raw cannabis. First, raw cannabis material having a pre-determined ratio of cannabinoids is collected. Next, the raw cannabis material is dried. Next, the dried raw cannabis material is grinded to obtain a finely ground powder. Next, the raw cannabis powder is packaged into a container. High concentrate cannabis extract is optionally added to increase potency of cannabinoids. Instructions are provided that instruct a consumer on amounts and types of cannabinoids, dosing and serving sizes for consuming the powder in its raw non-decarboxylated form, dosing and serving sizes for a decarboxylated (heated) version of the powder, and how to decarboxylate the cannabinoids within the powder. A consumer purchases the container of raw cannabis powder and adds the raw cannabis powder to food or beverages, consumes the powder directly, or decarboxylates the powder and consumes the decarboxylated powder.

  • Patent number: 11583359
    Abstract: A double packaging structure for an object, which may be a sterile object, includes a hollow external container having a closed first end, an open second end and walls, and an internal container disposed inside the external container. The internal container includes a hollow body and a cap. The object is intended to be received in the body. To close its first end, the external container has a membrane capable of deforming when pressure is applied to the membrane. The membrane is configured so that a pressure applied to its outer face, along the longitudinal axis, pushes its inner face against the inner container and causes the inner container to exit at the second end of the external container in the absence of a closure system at the second end.

  • Patent number: 11206836
    Abstract: An inclusive steaming system for baking dough and method of baking bread enhances the baking of baguettes by providing an elongated baking container is preheatable to high heat prior to receiving dough. A water-capture platform positions in the cavity of baking container, in a parallel, spaced-apart relationship with bottom wall of baking container. The water-capture platform forms a depression that captures melted ice water. When heated, the water-capture platform generates steam in cavity of baking container from melted ice droplets. A perforated baking panel positions in the cavity of baking container, in an elevated relationship from water-capture platform. The baking panel forms a middle ice trough for ice, and a pair of outer dough troughs for receiving elongated dough. As baking container is heated, steam is generated Spacing and perforation in baking panel provides optimal environment for steam circulation around the dough, creating a crunchy outer crust and chewy crumb.
